I need help! My OCD has attached into something I've really done.

I am a 20 years old guy and last week, out of stupidity, had one sexual encounter with a 44 years old man. Now I feel sick with myself, humiliated and gross.

But mostly of all I feel used. I want to get over it but it keeps on playing in my mind, this- the sexual encounter.

I don't know what else to do. I've called many hotlines to help myself but nothing has worked. I have called my doctor and he has changed a little bit my meds but I still feel the same. I don't know if I'm gonna ever get over it, but I want to sooooo bad. Just to stop thinking about this one thing. :/

Not need to beat yourself up about it. One sexual encounter with someone you really wish you hadn't with. It's something most of us have done.

Of course adding OCD into the mix doesn't help. But the same techniques that we use to combat OCD can be used here. Don't fight the memory, Acknowledge it, but don't argue with it or question it or torment yourself with self-blame, or others-blame. Just let it lose its intensity so it doesn't bother you any more and you can put it behind you. I know it's difficult, but you can come to terms with this and just put it down to experience.

Thank you very much for this

I agree not easy but if you can manage not to discuss it with yourself and just keep saying it my OCD it will eventually go
